Steve & Grant go north of Melbourne thanks to the aid of some members of Team PCDU, both current & new. First up we tag along with ATC_Ben on his visit to Oshkosh 2012, discussing his journey there & listening to a few of the interviews he recorded (yes, we’re still jealous we couldn’t get there!). We then introduce long-time listener Damien Rose who’s joining us as our Queensland correspondent & lives about 2,000km north of PCDU HQ. Finally, we play a few of the interviews Steve & Grant recorded at Oshkosh 2011 to help us feel a bit better about not being there this year (nope, still jealous! :) )The whole episode unfolds as:0:02:05 – We chat with ATC_Ben about his US trip and being at Oshkosh 2012ATC_Ben’s Oshkosh interviews:0:12:47 – Malcolm Savill at Classic Aviation Designs discusses their timber-construction Cubflyer CA18 kitset & Dick Sybrandy from Auroa Helicopters discusses their two seat turbine-powered microlight helicopter0:22:46 – Peter Maloney from Composite Helicopters International talks about the ongoing development & flight testing of their kitset composite turbine-powered helicopter0:26:20 – Shaun Mitchell from Kiwi Propellers talks about their high-performance propellers0:32:16 – Glen Towler (@NZAircraftFan) is a listener from New Zealand has a quick chat about drinking from the Oshkosh firehose0:35:11 – Matthew Hassall from GippsAero & Elizabeth from Groom Aviation talk about the increased recognition the GA8 is getting in the USA these days0:42:39 – We wrap up the interviews with ATC_Ben0:44:35 – Damien Rose (OzFlyBoy) joins us give us an update on his aviation activities since last we had him on the show and officially join us as our Queensland reporterWe run a few recordings from our time at Oshkosh 2011:1:14:37 – George Morgan, co-founder of GippsAero talks about the history of the company, the development of the GA8, Mahindra Corporation & future directions1:23:26 – Karthik Krishnamurty of Mahindra Aerospace talks about Mahindra, why they purchased GippsAero & future directions1:28:15 – Rod Rakic talks about flying the GA8 with the Civil Air Patrol1:31:49 – We wrap up the Oshkosh 2011 interviews & talk some more about GippsAero1:34:28 – Listener Mail:Steve Davis at Warneet tells us about his attempts at learning to fly & asks about how ultralights fit into the Australian airspaceBrian Judd from Kentucky was wrapped when we read out his email previously and has come back with a new question: can we get RC Cola here?1:42:17 – Shout Outs:Aus Air Services are hosting the Tooradin Open Day on December 1stMatt Hall Racing will be offering adventure flights at the Open
